We were invited to Spa-Francorchamps to run through 25 years of Fanatec, the German sim racing equipment manufacturer celebrating a quarter of a century. Watch as we run through the company’s history, speak to CEO Thomas Jackermeier interview esports stars James Baldwin, Ferrari’s David Tonizza and sim racing content creator RadWeasel.

There’s also a sneaky hands-on with the upcoming formula-style cockpit, a look at the 1998 Le Mans wheel and the sights and sounds of the 24 Hours of Spa.

Oh, there’s also the small matter of the bright-green Porsche-powered Volkswagen van!

Where it came from, where it is now and where it’s heading – let us know in the comments below if you’re looking forward to the upcoming Fanatec sim racing products.

Full disclosure: Fanatec funded travel and accommodation.
